Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

"Brother!"

"Left Protector!"

The two were shocked when they saw this. Zhang Ning rushed forward and put his fingers on his wrist and neck.

After a moment, Zhang Ning looked dazed and ashen, and sat down on the ground dejectedly.

Zhang Mancheng cut off his meridians and passed away!

"Brother!!!"

Zhang Ning and Zhang Yan were heartbroken, kneeling on the couch, crying.

Zhang Mancheng had exhausted his life's skills to save Zhang Yan. Now he knew that he was just a burden to live, so he resolutely went to die.

Zhang Mancheng was Zhang Jiao's favorite disciple, much older than Zhang Ning. He treated Zhang Ning like a daughter since childhood. When he died, Zhang Ning felt that the only relative in the world had also left her.

The affairs of the sect were complicated, and Guan Hai was watching covetously. What should she do in the future?

Zhang Ning was extremely uneasy and afraid.

No, I can't be defeated like this. Huang Tian's will and my father's last wish can't be destroyed in my hands!

Zhang Ning resisted the grief in his heart, stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Come here."

After a while, several followers dressed as servants came in.

"The left protector's old injury relapsed and unfortunately died. Pass my order and bury him with honor!"

"Ah! This..." Several followers were shocked when they saw it.

"Take him away and bury him with honor." Zhang Ning resisted the grief and said those words with difficulty.

"Yes, Master, I mourn for you!" Several followers said as they stepped forward to kowtow to Zhang Mancheng's body, and then carried his body away.

Zhang Ning wiped away her tears and said to Zhang Yan, "Ayan, I have an important task for you to do now."

Zhang Yan also wiped away her tears and replied, "Saint, please give me your orders. I will do anything for you!"

"I want you to leave Taiping Village and gather the remnants of Black Mountain. In addition, visit Taiping Village and find the Yellow Turban Warrior that Senior Brother mentioned!"

"How can this be possible?!" Zhang Yan was shocked. "I promised the Left Protector that I would protect the Saint. How can I leave alone and leave you here alone?"

Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Guan Hai will open the 'Huangtian Treasure House' and will not do anything to me. Yes, you stay here, it will be useless. Now Guan Hai is in power, more than half of the people in the church are his confidants, and he has nearly 100,000 followers under his command. Once he starts an attack, we can't resist him at all! Only if you leave and gather your people can we compete with him! "

"But, but the saint is alone in a dangerous place, how can your subordinates feel at ease?"

"Ayan, listen, I can only give you half a year. Within half a year, you must find the Yellow Turban Warriors and expand the Black Mountain tribe to 100,000. Only in this way can we fight Guan Hai. "

Zhang Ning said, looking at Zhang Yan with an unquestionable look.

Zhang Yan looked into her eyes, but she couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Zhang Ning was obviously only a few years older than him, why did he suddenly seem like a different person?

"Yes, I will obey the order of the Saint!"

"Also, don't bother Zhang Chen. I know you have a close relationship with Niu Jiao, but Zhang Chen... is still useful to us. I still need his power to help me contain Guan Hai. Remember, everything should be based on the overall situation, understand?"

"Yes, I will remember it." Zhang Yan replied, "Saint, I am not around, you... please take care!"

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he bowed to Zhang Ning and left.

Zhang Yan packed his luggage and left Taipingzhuang that day, going down the mountain alone.

Saint, you must wait for me to come back!

...

Wei County, Yecheng.

Half a month has passed without realizing it. In the past few days, Zhang Chen can be said to be "in high spirits when encountering happy events". Good news came one after another, making him overjoyed.

First, there was a response to the "Recruitment List". In just a few days, dozens of people came to respond.

Although Zhang Chen didn't know most of them, he asked Ju Shou and Gao Shun to test their literary and martial arts. Although these people were not as good as those famous generals in history, there were also outstanding ones among them. It was always enough to be a small colonel in the army or a clerk in the prefect's office.

However, among them, there were really famous people.

That day, when Ju Shou handed over the list, Zhang Chen glanced at it and his eyes lit up immediately.

Gao Lan's name was on the list!

Gao Lan, one of the four pillars of Hebei, should be as strong as the other three. In history, he surrendered to Cao with Zhang He because of Guo Tu's slander. Originally, he should have had a bright future like Zhang He, but unfortunately he was unlucky. During the Battle of Runan, he met Zhao Yun, Liu Bei's top general, and was stabbed under the horse.

Because of this, he seemed to have the least presence among the four, and was even classified as a second-rate or even third-rate general.

Come to think of it, this man is a bitWhat a pity.

So Zhang Chen hurriedly ordered someone to invite him in and personally summoned him.

As soon as Gao Lan entered, Zhang Chen saw that he was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and a strong physique. From a distance, he knew that he was a fierce man.

Zhang Chen then used the "Eye of Insight" again to carefully observe the entries on him.

[Name: Gao Lan]

[Owned entries: Infinite Strength (Purple), Peak Spear Skill (Gold), High Righteousness and Pride (Gold), Hebei Four Pillars (Gold)]

[High Righteousness and Pride (Gold)]: You are a man of high righteousness and unyielding, and your subordinates also have the same character under your influence. (When appointed as a military general, the defense of your subordinates will be greatly improved)

[Hebei Four Pillars (Gold)]: One of the Four Pillars of Hebei, you have a deep bond with each other and can obtain different attribute improvements. (Defense is increased when in the same camp as Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang He)

Like Zhang He, Gao Lan is also a general with three gold items, but his main feature is high defense and thick blood!

This can also be seen from his burly figure and strong muscles.

More importantly, his subordinates can also greatly improve their defense.

If a heavy armored infantry is built in the future and he is the leader, you can imagine how terrifying it will be!

The second happy event is that Han's promise has finally been fulfilled.

However, what Zhang Chen did not expect was that Han Fu actually sent three letters of appointment in an urgent manner, which were already stamped with seals, but the name column was empty. Zhang Chen could just fill in whoever he wanted to appoint.

Zhang Chen looked at the three letters of appointment, and sighed that the means of the wealthy family were really powerful, and they could do this. At the same time, he was also lamenting that the court was so corrupt that the appointment and dismissal of officials was such a big deal, but it could be treated as a joke!

However, this was a good thing for Zhang Chen.

Without saying anything, Zhang Chen picked up the pen and wrote down three names.

Ju Su was appointed as the magistrate of Guangping County, Qian Zhao was appointed as the magistrate of Cheng'an County, and Fang Ping was appointed as the magistrate of Linzhang County!

After the letters of appointment were written, Zhang Chen ordered people to send them to the three counties by fast horses and handed them to the three people.

At this time, the land of the three counties was firmly in his hands.

After Zhang Chen took care of the affairs of the three counties, he immediately drafted a group of promotion and transfer orders for officials.

Tian Feng was appointed as the Five Officials, and was in charge of Gongcao and other Cao.

Gao Lan was appointed as the Military Officer, assisting the county commander Qu Yi in managing military affairs.

In addition to his original post as military commander, Zhang He also served as a thief officer, responsible for the defense and security of Yecheng, the arrest of thieves, etc.

Gao Shun was promoted from Guangping County Lieutenant to military commander, and led the "Xianzhen Camp" to Yecheng for service, while the Guangping New Army was handed over to Ju Su to lead.

As for other wise men who applied for the job, they were also given important civil and military positions according to their talents.

At this point, Zhang Chen's team had been initially formed, and all affairs in the county began to operate in an orderly manner.

On this day, Zhang Chen finished handling government affairs, and suddenly sent someone to report that Dong Zhao, the magistrate of Yantao County, was now outside the door to ask for an audience.

Dong Zhao is back!

He must have brought back good news!
